Here’s a comparison of my garden: the 24th July 2025 on the left and the 23rd July 2026 on the right. I never knew that the UK could have a drought.

Lunch.

Black bean and lentil taco casserole with spring onion, black olive and vegan cream cheese topping

Lunch.

A tofu, green beans and butternut squash stir fry in a ginger and soy sauce with rice noodles.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· 21d

We have sunset.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· 21d

Mine is a teriyaki broth with celery, cabbage baked butternut squash and tofu marinated in sesame oil, soy sauce and curry powder. I’ll probably need a kebab in an hour.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· 25d

This is just wrong.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· 28d

I’ve moved outside now.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· 28d

I’m having to watch it on my lounge ceiling. It’s too bright outside to project it out there.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· Jul 11

I have company.

A cat sitting on my lap in the garden watching the TV on a projector screen.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· Jul 11

We have a projector set up now and so I can watch the footy from the hammock in the garden.

@marvth3martian.bsky.social Tonight I’m going to talk about Déjà vu…

An auto reply to something I posted about 1 min ago. I strongly suspect that it is asking for money. And it is strikingly similar to one that Marv screenshotted earlier.

Beer o’clock.

A pint of chilled pale ale outside a pub on a sunny evening.

Private Eye has landed.

The cover of Private Eye magazine showing Nigel Farage holding an ice cream cone at the seaside. There are speech balloons:
- Where’s your lolly, Nigel?
- He’s going into meltdown
- (from Farage) It’s not a scoop - it’s flake news!

This week’s bedtime read.

“The Cut Throat Trial” by The Secret Barrister.

I thought I’d share the stunning sweeping vista of my hotel room in Watford.

Two windows with restricted opening looking into the exit ramp of a multi-storey car park.

This probably doesn’t mean a huge amount, but this was the weather station in the shade in my garden this arvie with the indoor unit in my office cabin (on which I kept all the windows closed until mid afternoon when the humidity became too much).

The weather station display showing 37.3 degrees Celsius outside with the inside being 5 degrees lower, but with much more humidity. This is abnormal for June.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· Jun 26

Pepsi is signalling that it is drinking time, which I understand to mean that she is telling me to go to the pub.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· Jun 23

I am recklessly having a beer an hour before bedtime. My bladder will be my nemesis tonight.

Dave of the Chouffe@davelachouffe· Jun 21

Ça ne fait rien! Your efforts were quite something to see. As far as the garden goes, we’ve opted to minimise grass cutting this year and are letting the wild flower seeds do their thing.
